Godox 23in x 23in 60cm Softbox with S2 Speedlite Bracket - Portable

In this review the Godox 23in x 23in 60cm foldable softbox kit is evaluated for creators who need a compact, portable modifier for speedlites and small studio heads. The bottom line: this kit is best for photographers who prioritise soft, even light from a lightweight, travelable package because the double-layer diffusion and included S2 bracket let you mount a wide range of flashes and get consistent, flattering light without large, heavy gear.

Key Features

• S2 Speedlite Bracket: Updated from the original S-Type design to accept more speedlites and outdoor flashes, providing flexible mounting for both on-camera and off-camera setups.
• 60cm Softbox: A 23in by 23in box with high-quality reflective material that delivers soft, even illumination suitable for portraits and product shots.
• Double-layer diffusion: Inner and outer soft light cloths can be used separately or together to control softness and contrast for different shooting situations.
• Honeycomb grid: Included grid narrows the beam for more directional control and spill reduction when shooting tight subjects.
• Folding arch bone frame: Metal interior frame that is lightweight and durable for frequent setup and travel, while resisting deformation over repeated use.
• Accessory kit: Comes with a storage pouch, lens cloth and color filter so the kit is ready for location work straight from the bag.

Who It's For

This kit suits portrait, product and on-location photographers who need a compact softbox that pairs with popular speedlites and smaller studio heads. The S2 bracket accepts many Godox speedlites and AD-series heads, making it a practical choice for photographers who already own compatible flashes.

Photographers who need very large light sources or who demand ultra-fast foldability for constant solo setup may want to consider larger softboxes or alternative quick-fold systems, since some users note the softbox can be awkward to fold back into its storage position after use.
